Fundraising Update and Holiday Gift Idea

I recently received word from the president of the Water Project that the well for Kalimani is actually going to cost approx. $35,000 due to the depth they will need to drill and the inflation rate due to the world economic market crisis. The very good news though is that Chairity:Water (see CharityWater.org) in NYC has agreed to match the money we have and will be raising to meet these additional costs. And, in fact, they will be able to front whatever we need so that construction can begin in the next few months which is terrific news. Thank you for helping make this possible.

With the upcoming holiday season, if you are looking for a special gift and easy way to honor a family member, friend, co-worker or teacher, consider making a donation to the Road to Change project in their honor. You and the honoree will know that your donation is going to provide clean water to literally save people's lives. I can think of no greater gift.
